Christina Perri’s homecoming to Pennsylvania on the Demi World Tour was nothing short of spectacular, from start to finish she focused on the music and kept things low key. There was no flashy intro, no grand entrance, no over kill of production; just her walking out with a coffee mug in her hand, smiling and waving to the crowd for a minute she sat down behind a beautiful white piano where she would spend a fair amount of the evening. While performing live, Christina Perri’s voice is able to shine in ways that it can’t on a recording. Every word is full of emotion for her and she delivers them with an intensity that no other singer in her genre, or any genre can. Christina Perri’s performance was next level, that is the only way to categorize it and not to cause any bad blood or controversy but she in all honesty out performed every other artist that night (not that it was a competition but she deserves the credit). Her excellence extends far behind her vocal talent though, her whole attitude and on stage character is exactly what music needs right now. The music industry is over saturated with artists that are over producing themselves and being extremely over the top, Christina Perri proves that coffee shop basics are all you need to be a true musician and that you don’t need any drama to be the best in the industry. There is no musician out there with better lighting and I think that the industry needs to take notes about her stage production because it truly was magnificent. Do yourself a favor, go see Christina Perri on her next tour because no other artist will leave you with the feeling of hope for the music industry that she does, our generation has found the next big thing and she’s only getting started.
